This Africa safari adventure brings you off the beaten track and into the wild and remote regions of Botswana, and South Africa. Traveling by vehicle and bush plane, our expert local guides take you to the lesser -known African wilderness environments of Mashatu Game Reserve and to the diverse ecosystems of Kruger National Park. With wildlife researchers, you learn about the Tuli Predator Project and the Northern Tuli Game Reserve: get the camera poised to photograph some of the world’s most stunning wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes and ostriches. A South Africa tour of Cape Town shows you a unique, cosmopolitan side to Africa: visit the southernmost tip of Africa, head off for an afternoon of wine tasting and stop by Greenmarket Square, a place where craftspeople from all over Africa come to sell their wares. On this Africa safari tour, you have plenty of time to relax in the well-appointed camps, enjoy local cuisine, and go on archaeologist-led walks.

Spending a full day with the Elephant Researcher at Mashatu was an absolute highlight. Her knowledge of elephants, their behavior, and her ability to identify them each by name was so impressive and outstanding! The best ending to this journey was Cape Town and Doug Thomson, we plan on staying in touch.
